Hi everybody,

I’m upgrading an app from rails 1.2.3 to rails 2.3.2. I’ve a problem  
with the controllers tests. At the beginning, a test was defined as

class XControllerTest \< Test::Unit::TestCase  
import\_fixtures :fix1, :fix2, …

def test\_something  
get :something, {:some =\> ‘Params’} , {}  
assert\_response :success  
…  
end

The import\_fixtures fails, and I’ve read that the new way to do this  
is with ActiveSupport::TestCase. But if I change  
Test::Unit::TestCase by ActiveSupport::TestCase, I get the error

NoMethodError: undefined method `get’ for #\<XControllerTest:  
0xb7cbd560\>

What can it be? What can I do?

Thanks in advance,  
Beta

You should be subclassing from ActionController::TestCase
